Free-diving?

Something new to me in Dahab this trip was seeing people practicing their free-diving. Wacky stuff! They caught my attention b/c one day when we were out snorkeling, I saw people wearing a mermaid-type tail, instead of normal flippers. Apparently, that's part of their gear!

As it turns out, there's a professional free-diver named Lotta Ericson who lives in Dahab, runs a few businesses and practices when she can.

Dang! This is one of the most amazing things I've ever encountered. The amount of time these people can hold their breath and how far down they can go is astonishing!!!!
